The MAXI/GSC is slit-camera system using large-area proportional counters. The GSC continues observation since August 10, 2009. So far we issued 4 ATELs and 3 GCNs. Although the instant FOV of GSC is 2.4% of the sky, two gamma-ray bursts occurred in it. One (GRB090831A) of them was localized by MAXI circle and narrow IPN annulus. The 4 TELs are on three known Be transient binary pulsars (4U2206+54, A0535+26, GX304-1) and one new blackhole binary (XTE J1752-223). The 2.5-month all-sky image contains about 200 sources. We are preparing for a public web site (http://maxi.riken.jp) containing light curves, images, and spectra of the listed sources.
