**Abstract**

In this paper, we present a novel framework for the study and design of AI-assisted musical devices (AIMEs). Initially, we present taxonomy of these devices and illustrate it with a set of scenarios and personas. Later, we propose a generic architecture for the implementation of AIMEs and present some examples from the scenarios. We show that the proposed framework and architecture are a valid tool for the study of intelligent musical devices.
