With its large collection area, broad-band energy coverage from 10 to 600 keV, and all-sky monitoring capability, the proposed EXIST hard X-ray satellite mission will provide an unrivaled census of transient AGN activity in the nearby( z<0.5) universe that is unbiased by obscuration and poor time sampling -- and with enough statistics ( 40,000 objects total) to do population studies. We review how the EXIST AGN hard X-ray survey coupled with a follow-up survey using the on-board optical/near-infrared telescope (IRT) will significantly advance our understanding of AGN physics and of how the AGN phenomenon fits into the overall process of galaxy formation.
