Data preprocessing is critical for single-cell omics analyses, but default pipelines often underperform on diverse datasets, especially from emerging platforms like spatial transcriptomics. We introduce Lense, a language-model-guided method that automatically selects optimal preprocessing by comparing plots that visualize low-dimensional representations across pipeline variants. Integrated with Seurat, Lense streamlines analysis and improves preprocessing robustness without requiring manual tuning.
