The AGILE Science Alert System has been developed to provide prompt processing of science data for detection and alerts on gamma-ray galactic and extra galactic transients, gamma-ray bursts, X-ray bursts and other transients in the hard X-rays. The system is distributed among the AGILE Data Center (ADC) of the Italian Space Agency (ASI), Frascati (Italy), and the AGILE Team Quick Look sites, located at INAF/IASF Bologna and INAF/IASF Roma. We present the Alert System architecture and performances in the first 2 years of operation of the AGILE payload.
