Studio batch generation and packs
Short answer
Studio batch generation asks NotebookLM to create several Studio items in one go: for example a briefing plus flashcards, one item per topic from a list, or one per source. Jobs are queued in the background and the extension waits for long-running audio or artifacts to finish.

What it does

- Generates one item per topic from a matrix of topics, one per line.
- Passes audience and focus instructions to each item.
Limits to know

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Pro for Studio batch generation?

Does batch generation bypass NotebookLM limits?
No. It queues requests you could make by hand. Daily generation limits for audio, video and other items still apply.
