push8 is the intelligence and management layer for n8n. It doesn't compete with n8n's execution engine; it sits on top of it, adding the operational layer n8n doesn't provide natively.
Build from plain English: describe a workflow in natural language, and push8's AI builds it on a visual canvas with one click push directly to a connected n8n instance. Explain any workflow or error in plain English with a free public Explainer tool that doubles as an acquisition channel.
Catch silent failures: detects when a workflow reports success but actually returned empty or partial data, a failure mode n8n itself doesn't flag. Schedule miss alerts notify you the moment a scheduled workflow fails to run on time.
Automatic encrypted backups fill a genuine gap since n8n has no built in backup system. Instance and webhook health monitoring pings your connected n8n instance and checks webhook triggered workflows, with plain English diagnosis when something's wrong.
Workflow auditing flags race conditions between parallel branches, missing output validation on AI/LLM nodes, and data type mismatches between connected nodes before they cause a production failure. Token usage tracking parses LLM usage data straight from execution logs so you can see exactly how much your AI powered workflows are consuming.
Architecture Builder lets you describe a full automation goal in plain English and get a visual architecture diagram of the workflows needed and how they connect, before building a single node. It doubles as a client facing portfolio view for agencies showing what they've built.

- New users can use the AI builder, Explainer, and Architecture Builder before connecting a live n8n instance
- When you connect, push8 fetches your workflow list and lets you choose which ones it monitors; everything else is untouched
- push8 stores your n8n URL and an encrypted API key; it cannot see any third party credentials inside n8n
- Team collaboration with role based access and approval gates
- Separate development/staging/production environments
- Reusable workflow components
- Migrate Make and Zapier automations into n8n compatible workflows
- White label option for agencies
Does push8 need access to my n8n credentials?+
push8 stores your n8n URL and an encrypted API key. It cannot see any third party credentials (like OpenAI or Slack keys), which stay inside n8n.
Can I use the AI builder without connecting my n8n instance?+
Yes. New users can use the AI builder, the Explainer, and the Architecture Builder before ever connecting a live n8n instance. Nothing is gated behind granting access up front.
Does push8 modify my workflows?+
Only when you explicitly push a workflow to your instance. Monitoring and auditing are read only.
What makes push8 different from n8n Cloud?+
n8n Cloud hosts and runs workflows. push8 adds intelligence, monitoring, and management on top of any n8n instance, including self hosted.
Is push8 ready for production?+
push8 is in early access and under active development. The core features are live and usable today.
