Execution Steps

Step 1: Check Authentication

bash

notebooklm auth check --test --json

If authentication fails:

bash

notebooklm login

Step 2: Prepare Notebook

bash

# Find existing notebooks
notebooklm list --json | jq '.notebooks[] | select(.title | contains("Infographic"))'

# Or create a new one
notebooklm create "Infographic Generation Workbench" --json

Step 3: Add Content as Source

bash

# Add from file
notebooklm source add /tmp/content.md --json

# Or create a temporary file
echo "# Title\n\nContent..." > /tmp/content.md
notebooklm source add /tmp/content.md --json

Step 4: Wait for Source Processing

bash

notebooklm source wait <source_id> --timeout 120

Step 5: Generate Infographic

bash

notebooklm generate infographic "Content requirements description" \
  --style sketch-note \
  --orientation landscape \
  --language zh_Hans \
  --json

Step 6: Wait for Generation Completion

bash

notebooklm artifact wait <task_id> --timeout 600

Generation time: Usually 3-10 minutes

Step 7: Download Image

bash

notebooklm download infographic /path/to/output.png -a <artifact_id>

Complete Examples

Single Infographic

bash

# 1. Check authentication
notebooklm auth check --test --json

# 2. Create content
cat > /tmp/fmea.md << 'EOF'
# FMEA Failure Mode and Effects Analysis

## Core Formula
RPN = S × O × D

## Action Standards
- RPN ≥ 120: Must take action
- S ≥ 8: Must modify regardless of RPN value
EOF

# 3. Add source
SOURCE_ID=$(notebooklm source add /tmp/fmea.md --json | jq -r '.source.id')

# 4. Wait for processing
notebooklm source wait $SOURCE_ID --timeout 120

# 5. Generate image
TASK_ID=$(notebooklm generate infographic "Create an FMEA infographic including RPN formula and action standards" \
  --style sketch-note \
  --orientation landscape \
  --language zh_Hans \
  --json | jq -r '.task_id')

# 6. Wait for completion
notebooklm artifact wait $TASK_ID --timeout 600

# 7. Download
notebooklm download infographic ~/Desktop/FMEA.png -a $TASK_ID

Batch Generation

bash

# Iterate through md files in directory
for file in /path/to/contents/*.md; do
  filename=$(basename "$file" .md)

  SOURCE_ID=$(notebooklm source add "$file" --json | jq -r '.source.id')
  notebooklm source wait $SOURCE_ID --timeout 120

  TASK_ID=$(notebooklm generate infographic "Create infographic" \
    --style sketch-note \
    --orientation landscape \
    --language zh_Hans \
    --json | jq -r '.task_id')

  notebooklm artifact wait $TASK_ID --timeout 600
  notebooklm download infographic ~/Desktop/"$filename".png -a $TASK_ID

  # Avoid triggering rate limit
  sleep 60
done

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
Authentication failed	Session expired	Run `notebooklm login`
Rate limit exceeded	Too frequent requests	Wait 5-10 minutes before retrying
Generation timeout	Content too complex	Simplify content or extend timeout
Download failed	Artifact not completed	Check `artifact list` status

Limitations

Daily Quota: Approximately 5-8 images (limited by Google)
Generation Time: 3-10 minutes per image
Content Length: Recommended < 2000 words

Best Practices

Content Preparation: Use Markdown format with clear structure (titles, lists, tables)
Precise Description: The more specific the description during generation, the better the result
Batch Interval: Interval 60 seconds between each image to avoid rate limit
Reuse Notebook: Avoid frequent creation, use one notebook to add sources multiple times

📁 Image Saving Location

After generation, ask the user to select the saving method:

Option 1: Add to Note

Embed the image into the specified Obsidian note:

markdown

![[Image_Name.png]]

Operations:

Ask the user for the target note path
Move the image to the vault's attachment directory (e.g.,
```
attachments/
```
)
Insert wikilink reference in the target note

Option 2: Save to Computer Folder
