Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for aggregating user tool experience. A record ingestion circuit may receive action record data from a user tool that describes an action performed with the user tool by the user. The record ingestion circuit may also receive user name data describing the user. A record analytics circuit may generate user experience data for the user describing a plurality of actions performed by the user with the user tool. An application programming interface (API) circuit may receive from a requesting application a query for data describing the plurality of actions and send to the requesting application the data describing the plurality of actions.
